u should have the isos in a fat32 partition.

then burn the iso from the images folder from the iso of the 1st CD/DVD

boot with "linux askmethod"

and select hard disk for installation.

give the path and partition

finished

where did you get the isos from? They must be on a CD or DVD. Get that to someone who has a writer and then burn the iso on a CD.

I don't know weather you can do this using alcohol. I think you cannot.

I remember, in Mandrake, I extracted the first ISO using WinRAR and in the boot folder in it, I found a manual to make a boot floppy and boot to install via HDD. Check if you see it.

u can use virtual pc or vm ware if u jus wanna see it...

Which distro ISOs do you have?

If you have an iso of a live cd then you can use this :-
